NCAA Tournament bracket 2019 update: Elite Eight results, schedule

Half of the Final Four is set after two incredible Elite Eight games Saturday.

In the West Region, No. 3 seed Texas Tech used stifling defense for the second straight game to knock off No. 1 Gonzaga. The Red Raiders took control of the game late in the second half for a 75-69 victory in Anaheim, Calif.

Texas Tech will be making the school’s first-ever Final Four appearance and will face the winner of Duke and Michigan State in the national semifinals next Saturday in Minneapolis.

In the South Region, it looked like No. 1 seed Virginia was set for another disappointing finish against No. 3 Purdue until Mamadi Diakite hit a jumper at the buzzer to tie the game and send it into overtime in Louisville, Ky. After a back-and-fort extra session, the Cavaliers finally put the game away with late free throws. The win came despite a 42-point performance from Purdue’s Carson Edwards.

Virginia will take on the winner of Kentucky and Auburn next Saturday in the Final Four.

Below is an updated NCAA Tournament bracket and the television schedule for the Elite Eight, Final Four and the national championship game.
